Chapter 230
The question that can be answered by the mouth is not the situation that the Wu Dynasty hopes for now?
Although businessmen are not engaged in production, they also contribute a lot!
Dongzhen is cheap, and Xishi is expensive, because there are merchants in the flow of goods from the two places, but without merchants in the middle, what can the people of Dongzhen do, they can only watch the goods rot in their hands.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to suppress commerce and agriculture, because the power of the maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty was too strong, and the scholars could not suppress it, only the nobles in the army could suppress the maritime merchants, and the suppression was only the activities of people in the territory.
On the other hand, in the Wu Dynasty, what was lacking was market vitality and people who transformed raw materials into commodities.
"In the past, the clan wealthy, the inner government, is also doing business, but unfortunately people have inertia, the same investment in two businesses, one can earn thirty percent of the profit, one can only earn one percent of the profit, do not need to think about anything else, everyone will choose to earn more, and often the big profit of the business, have nothing to do with the people, national strength, such as the household...... There are no checkpoints on the road, and resources can be sold freely, but is there really no threshold here? ”
How can there be no threshold?
Everyone knows that the invisible threshold for wanting to participate in the household market is extremely high, and without the support of the nobles and clans behind him, people can't afford to raise a caravan that can always walk in the north.
"But with the spread of the money village, the expansion of the road, the situation has become different, the past was not left behind by the clan giants, now by the local martial arts to supplement, the money from the money from the money bank, one by one, the road can be passed, cross-county, cross-government transactions, not much money, can not stand the many people who can participate, do not need to fully mobilize, only need to mobilize a little, the martial artist who has been poor for many years, even if his own strength is insufficient, he can also contact others, gather people to walk, as long as he is willing to do, there will be a harvest after all!"
The martial family, equivalent to the military household in the household registration of the Ming Dynasty, is different from the forced military household system in the Ming Dynasty, the children of the martial family want to join the army from the bottom of their hearts, because after joining the army, the children of the martial arts family can realize their various visions by relying on the military merit system.
If you want to live actively, anticipation is important.
The military merit system guarantees expectations, and naturally some people are willing to join the army.
As a result, under the entire system, the lowest level of the martial arts family maintains a strong force all year round, and the children of the martial arts family between the ages of sixteen and fifty, regardless of whether they have a military position or not, can go to the battlefield at any time as long as they give an order.
This huge force was simply used by the Wu Dynasty for the army in the past, and it was really a waste to maintain local stability.
When the equation then put forward the concept of "savings are beneficial, loans and interest payments", it was aimed at all martial artists, but it was really aimed at the vast number of martial arts children who had people, brains, and backgrounds.
As long as these children of the martial arts family are allowed to devote themselves to economic activities, they will inevitably be able to revitalize the rigid market economy of the Wu Dynasty.
And this drawback may not break out in the Wu Dynasty, because the selection of soldiers in the Wu Dynasty and the enlistment process of regular soldiers are very fair so far.
It may not be possible to send soldiers out of every household, but the clan has a martial family, and the Wu Dynasty has already done it, and it is a big deal to expand the army when there is money.
The Wu Dynasty now has standing troops, that is, relying on the prestige of the past to deter the outside world.
The veterans who participated in that war forty years ago are not dead, and the deterrence is still there, but with the gradual withering of those veterans, the deep memory is not there, how can they be deterred?
After all, people are good at forgetting.
At that time, if the Wu Dynasty still wants to maintain domestic stability, it must increase its troops, and if it wants to start a foreign war, the number of troops must reach at least one million.
Where is such a huge redundancy, and what is there to worry about?
……
"Mr. Shang, why haven't you seen Master Fang?"
Shen Qingquan stepped out of the carriage and asked, holding Shang Zhong's hand.
"Master Fang went to Yuyang, what is the situation over there, I think I should already know if I come to Shen Dongzhu!" Shang Zhong looked at the carriage passing by, and also grabbed Shen Qingquan's hand tightly.
Rich man!
There were more than 30 carriages just past, and there were still cars and horses behind them, and this trip Shen Dongzhu brought at least 100 carriages.
All the goods are full, and the total value of the goods is probably more than 100,000 taels.
As for how much the place can earn, staying at the border for nearly nine months, the business clock can be estimated, and it will not be less than hundreds of thousands of taels.
Hearing this, Shen Qingquan said with a smile, "It's still you who fought beautifully, and with a blow from the bottom of the kettle, it not only messed up the internal affairs of the Jin Kingdom, but also solved its own troubles, but it was my dynasty that fought a little hard, and the battle of the Wei Army, if it weren't for the reaction of the surnamed Yue, we would have advanced into Zhuzhou by now!" ”
After entering Zhuzhou, the flames of war were completely burned into the territory of the Song Dynasty.
This is like the Jurchen fighting Yuyang, breaking the Yuyang defense line, don't look at the back of a few Youzhou counties, but that is not defended, as long as the Jurchen army presses the border, the war can be burned into Jizhou, from the outside of the body into the body, that taste of whoever meets who has a big head.
"Although the Beiwei army has to be replenished, the impact of the defeat has been weakened in less than half a year, and it is difficult for the Beiwei army to go to the battlefield, I believe that your country will not miss this opportunity!" Shang Zhong said.
"This is natural, now that the Song Dynasty has broken an arm, how can I give him a chance, I came out with something in my ears, and I think the relevant news will arrive soon!"
The stronger the Ming Dynasty, the more confident they were as businessmen walking outside.
"Then congratulations in advance!"
"Now, I should congratulate you!"
"Hahaha!"
Since the Mingwu alliance, the two countries are very comfortable, not only do they no longer need to guard against each other, but the key is that the two countries have begun to exchange various resources continuously, and there will be benefits in the exchange.
If there is no alliance, don't say that the dynasty will kill the Song people, the British duke, who is in charge of the situation in Xuzhou, will not keep 100,000 troops to defend the Wu Dynasty.
The expected anxious confrontation did not appear, and it was not only the Ming people who were cool, but also countless people who wanted to see the jokes of the Song people.
"I heard that the market has been listening to it for a while, and I won't ask if Master Fang is there, but this is not ......," Shen Qingquan mentioned the key.
"Fang Shi has explained before leaving, the market will open on the first day of September, and the payment will begin on the third day of the new year, along the way, Shen Dongzhu should have seen it, saltpeter has been put in various post stations, and most of the butchers have also arrived, you have bought the goods, and we guarantee that you will never be dragged back when you return!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Shen Qingquan's biggest worry is how to complete the payment, back to the Ming Dynasty in the half month, in addition to organizing the supply of goods, he also actively opened up the distribution market, and now all parties follow the Shen family to eat merchants, but they are waiting for the mutton to be pressed back, maintaining that the Shen family will have five cargo ships of 3,000 materials have set off from Nanyang.
